Sound and Sequencer

SOUNDS 10 different analog sound generators (instead of original 17): Kick, Snare 1, Snare 2/Clap, Tom Hi, Tom Lo, Cymbal, Cowbell, Closed Hat, Open Hat, FM Sound. All the sounds can be augmented with a custom ‘Color’ layer not present on original machine, which humanize the sound with various factors depending on the instruments (e.g hihats have decay altered, while kick adds a little pleasant fuzz).
Most of them are inspired from drumbrute classic with some variation: kick is a reminder of the 808 with tone and noise parameters, snare1 with snaps and tone while snare 2 uses filter sweep on a white noise. Only big difference is the FM SOUND which uses FM modulation for deep bass, woobling sounds and much more! it' s a very simple two-operator FM synth patch with controls for the Carrier and Modulator pitches and the amount modulation. Finally a distortion circuit on the master out for extra punch.

SEQUENCER 16-step/bar, 4-bar per pattern and 16 patterns per song. The sequencer is derived from the original Drumbrute with 16-step model XOX with accent, anyway you can lighting move each instruments out of the grid (50% value) forward or backward (yes individual swing).
It is also possible to use famous ratchet or dive into polythythm (each track can have individual lenght).

SYNC: internal, midi, usb, or external analog pulses.
